Description

Blue Hat, Green Hat, Sandra Boynton’s famous and funny book, comes alive with sound and zestily ingenious interactivity. This wonderfully clever digital book app will surprise kids and grownups alike. Turkeys may also enjoy it, if they can ever figure out how to turn the dang thing on.

Three earnest animals and one misguided turkey learn colors and clothes. Though admittedly, the turkey never quite gets the hang of it.

“I have a particular fondness for Blue Hat, Green Hat,” says Sandra Boynton. “At age three, my son Devin had a surprisingly hearty laugh for a small person—a laugh that would make everyone else laugh. I created this book long ago specifically to elicit that belly-laugh from him. It was great fun to re-invent this book as an interactive e-book app, collaborating again with my endlessly clever Loud Crow friends. The digital dimension gave us so many terrific opportunities for adding theatrical flair to this spare yet decidedly Vaudeville book.”

Far beyond any e-book experience, the Blue Hat, Green Hat interactive book app has all the magic and appeal of a traditional pop-up book, offering lively interactivity and nifty discovery.

Features:

• The third Sandra Boynton book app, all of them created in collaboration between Boynton Moo Media along with the award-winning developer Loud Crow Interactive. Blue Hat, Green Hat follows their wonderful top-selling debut, The Going To Bed Book app, and the glorious bestselling Moo, Baa, La La La! app.

• Touch the animals to prompt them to move and respond. Touch “OOPS” to cause a different surprise on each page. Tilt your device to watch things slide and cascade. Dress the turkey with colorful pop-in/pop-out clothes

• Boynton has redrawn and recolored the original illustrations, and also added new touch-animations, for her enormously popular book, Blue Hat, Green Hat

• Wonderful resonant and wry narration by British Invasion legend, Billy J. Kramer (acclaimed reader of The Going To Bed Book app) and sound by Boynton & Ford. Includes an original soundtrack, "William Mattel Overture," a melody for toy crank-guitar, written by Sandra Boynton, performed by Michael Ford

• Realistic page turning interactions just like the original board book

• Or “I want to read it myself” to hear individual words pronounced with the tap of a finger

Thank you for keeping this free, keep up the quality work because this app is will worth it.

Error, will not open I just bought this story for my toddler and we haven't been able to read it once! Every time I try to open it I get the same thing "unfortunately Blue Hat has stopped"

DRM ruins experience Usually when I want my kids to read this book is when I'm out and about, thus having no wifi connection on my Nexus 7. This book, along with all the other Loud Crow books I've purchased, will periodically do a license check. However if you have no connection, the check will fail and prevent you from using the app. Like any other app I'm sure this can be easily pirated. Thus the DRM is only hurting actual paying customers. Remove the DRM and I'll bump it up to 5 stars

I have all the other books in the series which work great, but this one doesn't open on any of our devices. It also happens to be my son's favorite, which makes it more disappointing.

Doesn't work any more This was my little boy's favourite app. Unfortunately after an android update it stopped working and has crashed on startup ever since. I have an up to date Galaxy S5. I've emailed about it but have had no response.

Blue Hat, Green Hat My grandchildren loved this interactive book. But it hasn't worked in over 4 months. I've reported the problem several times, but as of 9/9/15, app will not work.

Fun for toddlers My 2yo loves this app. There is something to play with on every page and she is learning her colours at the same time. Not to mention that the animations are cute and funny. Love it! :-)

Frequently crashes Every single book by loud crow crashes. Can't get past the first page. Screen seizes up and strobes. Porting from iOS is not the best solution for your customers. Please fix this, I paid for it and it is unuseable. In fact, I paid for it twice, once on Amazon and once here

Great but... On the Galaxy Nexus, the end on the pages are really, really close to the soft buttons. So when my son tries to turn the pages, he constantly hits the home button. You need to add some space between the two.

Awesome interactivity I understand that there's a limit to how much the developers can do within a given budget so I'll hold off on what else could be done. I think it's just a great interactive experience. My daughter loves it!!
